  • Publication number: 20260085549
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel lock that includes a lock housing, lock cavity, a spring, a load plate, one or more pins, a post receiver and a post. The spring engages the lock cavity and load plate, securing the pins in place within a pin recess of the post receiver. The lock housing includes housing extensions to engage a case to lock the case in a closed configuration. The post receiver includes a pin guide with angled surfaces defining a travel path for the pins. The travel path, upon receiving input (e.g., a magnetic force and/or rotation) causes the pins to move up and out in response to force applied when a head region of the post pushes the pins apart.
